The Rainmaker Main Page
By N. Richard Nash
The Story
At the time of a paralyzing drought in the West, we
discover a girl whose father and two brothers are worried as much about her
becoming an old maid as they are about their dying cattle. For the truth is,
she is indeed a plain girl. The brothers try every possible scheme to marry her
off, but without success. Nor is there any sign of relief from the dry heat.
When suddenly from out of nowhere appears a picaresque character with a
mellifluous tongue and the most grandiose notions a man could imagine. He is a
rainmaker, and he promises to bring rain, for $100. It’s a whacky idea, but the
rainmaker is so refreshing and ingratiating that the family finally consent.
Forthwith they begin banging on big bass drums to rattle the sky; while the
rainmaker turns his magic on the girl, and persuades her that she has a very
real beauty of her own. And she believes it, just as her father believes the
fellow can actually bring rain. And rain does come, and so does love.
